    Re: Wake Island Sniping Locations Guide (With Pics) - Snipers must read!

    OK, for some reason the forum won't let me edit the original post, something about not allowed to post URLs until I have 10 posts or something... anyway

    Here's a very useful tip from Arkasha, it seems you can also get onto the boat via the inflattable boats... good if you are playing as USMC and wanna get onto the boat without wasting a BH.

    You don't need a chopper to get onto the ship. Instead, you can use an inflatable boat. Just drive it to the north side of the ship, right beside the lowest point. Make sure your boat points west.

    Then hit F3 (or F4, whichever is the position on the boat closest to the ship) and then hit "E" to exit. You will wind up on the ship.


    Thanks Arkasha!

    Not really, trust me, hardly any people snipe from these spots, especially the boat...

    Join your favourite server(s) and check these spots if you don't believe me, 99% of the time there are nobody in these spots, in fact in all the time I've played Wake I've been the only person in these spots, with the exception of when people started joining my squad while I was in the boat, there were like 3 snipers there... we were quite a team, though I think 3 snipers are a tad many... it might give away your position too easily with all the shots being fired, 2 is probably the most you'd want sniping on the boat at any given time.

          This is just a mass consipiracy by Harpoon to lure us to those locations, so he can earn his basic knife badge.

                  great idea but surely people can hear the sounds of the gun and locate him

                  I always hunt the Sniper if im killed by him

                    That's the thing about Wake - it's so compact the shot could be coming from anywhere. At any given moment there are probably 10 people playing as snipers on both sides, maybe more... that means 10 sniper rifles going off in all different directions - it's hard to pinpoint the one that got you.

                    Try sniping on the boat and see if people can pinpoint you, I'd doubt it, unless the commander kept zooming in on your position, then theres not much you can do I guess.

                      Great instructions and locations. Thanks Harpoon.

                      I've spent a few hours on Wake so far and haven't noticed all that many snipers. There will be one more from now on thanks to you though.

                        Really? On the rounds that I've played people were complaining about it becoming a snipefest, maybe that was a few days ago when people were trying out their shiny new M95s or something, but even now there are quite a few snipers around from what I'm seeing.

                              I find Wake to be a snipe-fest as well, since it's a pretty infantry-oriented map. A squadmate of mine RACKED up kills as a sniper just by playing on the ground going from flag to flag.

                              Nice spots by the way. But if you're a good sniper, just staying on the main island and working your way around off the main roads is a great way to get a 20-5 or better KD ratio.

                                20 to 5 kd = 4 to 1 kd
